Shyness is nice, but Shyness can stop you
From doing all the things in life
that you'd like to.
When I met her, she asked me what I was looking at:
"Oh, not much, just the distance"
It was a true statement, but later she told me she thought I made it up. I made up a lot of stories back then, but that was not one of them. Years later I wish I had come up with something less clever. It is likely she would not have been as interested with a generic statement, but I was fresh out.
Eventually we grew tired of each other and she said she was going to head West. I tried not to laugh, but she caught me smiling. We were living near Seattle, the only thing west was the ocean.
The last time I saw her
she asked me what I was going to do now.
I had to think about it for a moment:
"Now ? Like forever ? "
When you say it's gonna happen now
Well,
when exactly do you mean?
See, I've already waited too long
